When she achieved many success stories-I have learned to work better with medical specialtiesThe management was good and helpfulit was easy workplace culture - when I treated an emergency cases it was a hard work day.- when I made many awareness raising sessions it was a most enjoyable part.

The work was very tedious and was dispensed in hash environment; Iearned from the staff and from my mistakes on human management and learned how to be culture sensitive;

My co-workers were cooperative and supportive, and the hardest part of the job was the solving of problems related to water points among community residents;

The most enjoyable part were project review and annual leave. During these activities, the challenges and successes were identified and strategies were designed to help improve on future projects. It was the time to enjoy life after work with family and friends;

An international medical and disaster aid non- profit organization with offices and clinics worldwide based out of Santa Monica, California.Heavy reliance for revenue is placed on donated funds both from the private and public sectors.

pay too low and work requirements too demanding but they have excellent mid-level international personnel. Work conducted in dangerous environments would be good if company showed as much concern for their personnel as for the bottom line.

Pros

Good training opportunities

Cons

too driven into dangerous circumstances and inconsiderate of personnel

Yearly programme review meetings last longer than always plannedWhen expertise from different project discuss together,it help to not only have a mental picture of the programme,but clear on what has always been me as an actor to successes and challenges in Programme.A clear understanding of certain decision taken which can be viewed as frustration by junior level colleagues.When a situation arise to scale down operations,then it has to do with redundancy,who is to go and who should remain in the team when all are very hard working.When promotion is given to a junior colleague as reward for hard work.

Quick internship with this organization. I worked directly with managers and learned about the ins and outs of international relief. Great workplace environment where people looked out for each other. As an intern I didn't see an opportunity to find actual paid work.

IMC is a great company to work for. The people are nice, and they really work hard in their individual duties. The only problem is the Upper Management/VP's. There is no communication to the lower employees.

Day's work at IMC was ok and ongoing, Learned alot with handling and be a trustee of cash. Management was flexible and with co-workers they are great and willing to work at all times.Hardest part of all is when you are called upon to do payment to survivors of any outbreak like the Ebola.Enjoyable part when are been educated on various illnesses.

To familiarize with various IMC procedures and practices with focus on program management, procurement, financial operations, audits/internal controls and donor regulations and compliance. The workshop/training component includes:

An Ideal organization to help a motivated professional grow in the humanitarian field. I have been working with IMC for 7 years now, and it has been a remarkable experience, where I have worked in various emergencies and have learned so much from my supervisors, colleagues, and where I have been privileged in making real friends. It is with IMC that I found my true calling for Mental Health and Psychosocial Support.

My day starts with morning security briefing, dispatch of teams to the field to work in the clinics in the refugee camps.Follow up with the logistic and finance teams on issues affecting the staff and the clinic functions. Attend partners health/ camp coordination meetings. supervision visits to the health facility. On job training and mentoring of staff.Check registers and referral notes and make recommendation as necessary.I have learnt a lot on diseases surveillance, disease prevention through community awareness activities as well as vaccination programs. In my current place of work I am part of the senior management and hence the decision making body for our activities on the field. We work as a team and have meetings to plan our activities and report on progress. There is an open house policy which gives each one the opportunity to freely interact and ask for guidance as and when needed.The hardest part of the job is the limitations in resources, both human and material. But we are making the best out the situation we find ourselves.The most enjoyable part is the small victories, like opening the new maternity wing and having deliveries done at the health facilities rather than referring them to the hospital. Doing vaccination campaigns, Nutrition food distribution session.

Worked for five years as Senior Accountant as a full time exempt employee, putting in countless hours of unpaid overtime and volunteer work and got laid off without any notice or reason other than that my position had been eliminated. Shocking disregard for employee endeavour and loyalty.

The staff treats you like family, everybody is willing to help. Learn a lot about Public health issues in developing countries. The hardest part of this job is quick deadlines, specifically in emergency response. Working with staff in different countries is difficult due to time differences.
